Lipscomb
Decision sheet

Tennessee · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Lipscomb's merit aid centers on stacked academic awards like the Trustee Scholarship plus faith- and service-linked programs (Christian Education, Church Match, Scout Award) and generous transfer pathways.

Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 7 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Church Match Program

$500 · Published amount

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

Renewal: Not marked as renewable in this record. Ask the school whether renewal is available.

Other terms: Official Lipscomb snapshot states Church of Christ match up to $500 per year for a first-time undergraduate and automatic award when church funds are received.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: Awards are governed by Lipscomb's Direct Cost Policy: aid is adjusted to prevent an over-award of institutional aid against direct costs, and additional gift aid, including outside scholarships, can trigger that adjustment.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
